Walk the medieval city walls, and discover why, in York, the gates are called bars and the streets are called gates.
Leave the car and follow one of the many cycle routes or walks along the banks of the River Ouse, enjoy the Millennium Bridge and Rowntrees Park.

A ten minute drive from the city centre will take you to the Macarthur Glen Designer Outlet – designer goods at discount prices.
